　　Warren Buffett＂s Berkshire Hathaway has made a $8 billion gain on American Express this year.沃伦巴菲特的伯克希尔哈撒韦公司今年通过美国运通获得了 80 亿美元的收益。Berkshire spent $1.3 billion for a stake in the credit-card group worth $26 billion.伯克希尔斥资 13 亿美元购买了价值 260 亿美元的信用卡集团股份。Buffett＂s former partnership owned 5% of American Express in the mid-1960s.巴菲特的前合伙人在 1960 年代中期拥有美国运通 5% 的股份。
　　Warren Buffett＂s Berkshire Hathaway has racked up an $8 billion gain on American Express this year, as one of its largest and oldest holdings has been a surprise outperformer.沃伦·巴菲特 (Warren Buffett) 的伯克希尔哈撒韦 (Berkshire Hathaway) 今年在美国运通 (American Express) 上获得了 80 亿美元的收益，因为其规模最大、历史最悠久的持股之一出人意料地跑赢大盘。
　　The famed investor＂s conglomerate owned 152 million shares of American Express at the last count, giving it a 19% stake. The financial-services group＂s stock price has surged by about 45% this year, boosting the value of Berkshire＂s position from $18 billion at the start of January to $26 billion today.根据最新统计，这家著名投资者的企业集团拥有美国运通 1.52 亿股股票，占其 19% 的股份。 这家金融服务集团的股价今年飙升了约 45%，将伯克希尔的头寸价值从 1 月初的 180 亿美元提高到今天的 260 亿美元。
　　American Express has been one of the two best-performing stocks in the Dow Jones index this year, along with Goldman Sachs, which Berkshire exited last year. The credit-card company＂s stock hit a record high in late July after it smashed Wall Street＂s forecasts for its second-quarter earnings. Its revenues surged 33% year-on-year to over $10 billion, as consumer spending rebounded from the pandemic, while a cut to credit-loss provisions helped propel its net income up about nine-fold to $2.3 billion.美国运通是今年道琼斯指数中表现最好的两只股票之一，与去年伯克希尔哈撒韦退出的高盛一起。 这家信用卡公司的股价在 7 月底创下历史新高，此前它打破了华尔街对其第二季度收益的预期。 由于消费者支出从大流行中反弹，其收入同比增长 33% 至 100 亿美元以上，而信贷损失准备金的削减帮助其净收入增长了约 9 倍，达到 23 亿美元。
　　Berkshire first invested in American Express in 1994, and spent $1.3 billion to establish its current stake, meaning it has scored a roughly $25 billion unrealized gain in under 30 years. Notably, Buffett previously owned more than 5% of the company, as his Buffett Partnership plowed $13 million into the stock after the salad-oil scandal temporarily tanked its price in the mid-1960s.伯克希尔哈撒韦于 1994 年首次投资美国运通，并斥资 13 亿美元建立目前的股份，这意味着它在不到 30 年的时间里获得了大约 250 亿美元的实现收益。 值得注意的是，巴菲特之前拥有该公司 5% 以上的股份，因为在 1960 年代中期色拉油丑闻暂时使股价下跌后，他的巴菲特合伙公司向该股票投入了 1300 万美元。
　　American Express is one of the five biggest positions in Berkshire＂s portfolio, while Buffett＂s conglomerate is the company＂s largest shareholder. Buffett has repeatedly emphasized the value of the American Express brand, framing it as a key competitive advantage, or ＂moat＂, to fend off rivals.美国运通是伯克希尔投资组合中最大的五个头寸之一，而巴菲特的企业集团是该公司的最大股东。 巴菲特一再强调美国运通品牌的价值，将其视为抵御竞争对手的关键竞争优势或＂护城河＂。
